I need to go home, and clean up my place! It looks terrible, why hasn’t anyone cleaned it up!?!? 😒

My ancesters took a different path than North America. They went down the Danube to the Batschka, (Serbia today).

It's been said before, but it is called a pontil, not a pommel. It was caused by the punty rod that was attached to the bottle so the lip could be tooled on. Also, personalized bottles were considered a status symbol, not just an identifier of the owner of the bottle.

Im a Koontz descendant still living in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley!

Hillary Duff's ancestor? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Dunlop Royalty🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love the air twist stems of those glasses from the period.

Very informative - thank you! Weaver, Clore & (later-joined) Baker descendant here. ✋🏻

Where does one find such fine items?

Exquisite! Thank you 😊

@historicGermana my great grandfather seven times is Hans Michael Holt Sr. He was one of the congregation members that accompanied the pastor back to Germany to raise funds and found the pastor in London. How can I get in touch Germanna and more information?

My maiden name is Holtsclaw, I was amazed to find out this information several years ago when I first started my family tree! I grew up thinking I had a strange name, I really wish I had known my ancestors stories so I could tell people about my family name when they called me Coleslaw😆 I am so grateful to know about my Holtsclaw branch!

It's pontil not pommel Low points for ridiculous costume and is that a wig? 😆

Excellent

Excellent

The first bottle English onion should have a sand pontil, the next is a dutch onion which should have a ring pontil as should the rest except the last bottle again English and should have a sand pontil.

I am from George Bowman and Mary Hite

I know this is late but I've just run across this video. I'd wish it had said more about the Hitts as slaveholders. I am a descendant through Peter's son Harman, then his daughter Dinah Lawler, etc. I understand they held substantial numbers of enslaved people and think that's an important part of the story. Thank you.

My grandpa Andreas Claus Klaar was in Germanna!! He was from gemmingen, heilbrann, Baden-Wertemmberg Germany 🇩🇪 Still trying to dig up my roots!!

I am a dependent of Michael Holt of 1717

So ye walketh through terrors keep harking a nice brazened hog for she will surely bring entire lot of merry disheartened moments.

Mmmhmm. Mmmhmm. “Famous”

The story of Spotswood deserves more time in order to provide a broader overview of his dubious plans for Germanna. The mining scheme was, in fact, less heroic and benign as many believe. Spotswood's scheme was poorly considered from the start and quickly failed. It was hatched after the overlords in London said (in other words) "make this place self sufficient, or else". Ultimately, his interests were mercantile and self-serving--fairly summarised as a combination of greed and vanity, I believe. Locating the (often desperate) German settlers in the region was part of a considered strategy to use their presence as human shields against suspicious and increasingly hostile indigenous nations nearby and an increasing French presence west and northwards.

Hi Ashley, and thank you for this informative video. I am descended from the Jacob Crigler line, also. It was great to hear information on him. My sister and I are working on our lineage which is a fun task. Though it feels as though we need the assistance of "Finding Your Roots" on PBS. I wish to visit Germanna this year, and need to make plans for that. Thank you again.

appreciate your research in the video, found out Franz ludwig michel is my 9th great-grandfather on my dad's side. my last name is Michaels, great grandfather added the "s" to last name Michael, i've connected michael directly to michel.

Spilman and Fishbach is my ancestry ❤ enjoyed your video. Thank You

All of the immigrants of the Germanna colony were cousins from Baden, Prussia. BC Holtzclaw wrote several books about these cousins that immigrated from Prussia. The first group had to wait in London until Queen Anne approved to open up the mining to Virginia, which is why it was named, Germmana, dedicated to Queen Anne and their homeland.

I just started working in The Punch Room at the Tampa Edition; where we specialize in punches. Very excited to combine my love for 17th and 18th century history and my job. Thanks for the lesson!

My relative.. Im a Hitt😊..Rebecca Jane Hitt

In school we were taught America belonged to . INDIANS.JUST SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH!!!!!

My son is a direct descendant of the Weavers in the second colony. He is 7 yo.

Pontil not pomel.

I'm a descendant of the Holtzclaw family. My mother's side of the family still goes by the Holtzclaw name. Been searching for years for any information about my family history and no one could tell me anything past my great grandfather and that it was (obviously) a German name. From what I know, and what I've read, it seems most of our family ended up in the Kentucky, Tennesse, Illinois, and Missouri areas.

I would love to take part in a field school there. I’ve almost completed my Anthropology BS for Archaeology and I’m a descendant of Jacob Holtzclaw. 😃

Know if corks were treated/coated to stop them molding?

So interesting!

Thanks for sharing! Peter Hitt is my 5th great gf, Frances D Hitt my 4th great gm and Jonathan Freeman my 3rd great gf.

My 8x great grandfather, Hans Jurgen Georg Smidt, was an immigrant to the second Germanna colony. He was only half German as his father was born in Falun, Sweden, while his mother was born in Schleswig Holstein.

hoffman/ huffman descendant here

I am a descendant of Johann Jost Merdten/Martin. My mother was a Martin.

Proud descendant of the Koch/Cook and Fleshman families of 1717. My mother's mother is a Koch/Cook and a direct line.

Thank you...love hearing about all the wonderful history of this beautiful old house!

I think I'd like to go.

I want to visit sometime. Maybe go to Germany as well.

I am a direct descendant if Alexander Spottswood. Thank you

Hi family. Good to see you.

This is a very informative video. Thank you so much for performing the research and presenting it. A couple of questions: (1) I presume some cores were removed from the logs in the dendrochronology process. Did the Germanna foundation retain and preserve those cores? These might be useful if there are future refinements to the technology, or if something happens to the house. (2) Can you provide any information about Russell and Joan Hitt, the donors? Is this the same as Chairman Russell Hitt (1935-2020) of Hitt Consulting of Arlington? Thanks again!

What was the significance of the concave bottom?

Excellent presentation Marc. Thank you!

She is a wealth of knowledge.

Great data !
